So, then might as well drop ANY cases against Trump while he was in office citing Ex privildge then, right?

is that how it works?

Not sure what you are trying to say, but they didn't charge Trump during his presidency, they charged him only after he announced he was running again.

But whatever you are trying to say has no bearing on this issue of mandamus. As I stated a mandamus is a writ issued by a superior court commanding the performance of a specified official act or duty.

Congress is not a court, they could petition a court to issue the mandamus I suspect, but I'm not certain about that. But suing the DoJ, is probable not a wise avenue to even pursue. Do you think DoJ would provide a desired result?
